I booked the room because under the lies there was breakfast and a pool. This place had neither. The hallways smell, the stairs weren’t clean. I honestly would like my money back after the false advertising and hotel condition. I have another trip booked here with my daughter in two weeks that I’ll be canceling immediately.
There was no breakfast served even though it was marketed during reservation. Room was not made. We had to clean our room make our own bed went to front desk to get fresh towels and bedsheet.
Front desk area stinks badly. With 2 kids and a dog we made a wrong choice looks like. I am asking for my money back.
The room was dirty, smelled musty and like smoke. Bathroom smelled like it needed to be throughly cleaned. I was supposed to have two beds and our room only had one. She offered another room which was just as dirty so since I had already “cleaned” our room I just kept it. The picture is of the hand towel after cleaning the floor in the bathroom and sleeping area. It was sticky and very frosty as you can see. Also- no breakfast was offered that I found out through a sign at the check in desk. Online it offered breakfast.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was fine, mouse droppings on floor, damaged door and bathroom vanity. Weeds overrunning surrounding area.
Computers down across the region our keys didn’t work for the room. The room was dirty it had mold on the toilet the lady was very nice about it she tried to go to see the room but the lights weren’t working correctly in the other room it’s basically not meant for vacationing it’s meant for housing people are low income people and that’s fine but if you wanna vacation don’t go there. If you need a place to crash out of exhaustion you could probably tolerate it but it’s overpriced for that purpose. It’s better than a tent. Well that’s negotiable but at least you don’t have to set the tent up.
The worst experience living in Econolodge. The bathroom was dirty. Bed sheets had blood stains. No coffee or tea in room. I’m not sure how Expedia has such hotels advertised in their website. I expect a complete refund.
Drove into a retail store parking area. Very depressed. Pizza Hut building abandoned, Friendlies abandoned. Drove past a rundown building with no visual signage of an Econo lodge/Choice Hotel. One old car in parking lot with flat tires. Only one other car besides mine in parking lot. Totally overgrown, unkept landscape. Looked abandoned. Homeless people in and around building. I was embarrassed for booking. Advertised breakfast and there was none. Dust in room was disgusting. I had to get my sleeping bag for my girlfriend to sleep in. We were afraid of bed bugs. Very old unkept room, facility. Disgusting caulking in bathroom. Bathroom sink glazing painted over with scratch marks in the sink and countertop. Totally gross. Worst experience from a well travel businessman. Put a damper on my daughter's college graduation weekend. Shame on Hotels.com for representing Econo. I reviewed hotels and this one had an excellent rating with positive reviews. Thats why I chose it. I booked 7 months in advance. I looked at ratings now and it is 2.9 out of five. I would have never selected them. Reviews are now horrible from the last couple of years. Why weren't the reviews updated. I was mortified. The place is one step from being condemned. The place is not even listed on hotels.com anymore. Shame on the town of Ithaca. This was one step up from platform camping. At least I had a bathroom in the room. Horrible, horrible experience
I was assigned a room which had a broken lock. I was told that I just needed to come to the desk everytime I wanted to enter the room and they would let me in. I was told that they couldn't change my room even though plenty were available. the employee threw my key cards in the air and exclaimed that "now, you're going to get me in trouble" when I said it wasn't acceptable. our bathroom door had a hole made by a fist that wasn't fixed. we had a cockroach crawling around the bathroom floor. the walls and floors had no sound insulation whatsoever and noisy neighbors kept us up. they had a no smoking sign at the main entrance and two employees were unashamedly smoking in front of the sign.
